When two men robbed Charles of $5,000, he just stood and cried. He couldn’t help it, because they threw pepper into his eyes, grabbed his money, jumped into a waiting car and fled.
Similarly, Satan throws the “pepper” of blinding sin into the eyes of his victims as he grabs for their most valuable possession — their precious soul. We are told in the Bible that Satan “hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them” (2 Corinthians 4:4).
Sin blinds people to the value of their souls, to their own sinfulness and to their need of the Savior. It also blinds them to the fact that Christ has died in order to purchase them “with His own blood,” paying the complete price of their redemption.
All you have to do is to believe it, to accept it as an accomplished fact and then to trust and rely on His sacrifice to be eternally saved. Have you put your trust in Him? If not, why not now?
